- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Sound mastic protects the frame. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Kippington
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant and we will explain which is best for yours. If you have crumbling sand mastic round a window and patchy fillers round a sash window, we can help, on brick reveals, sash and case windows and tenement windows alike.
Around Kippington, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, including the tidy-up. A visit to Kippington is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Kippington
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants don’t always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. Around Kippington, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Tidy, careful work

What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Do you need sand mastic in Kippington?
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They do not suit the joint and we normally remove them.
The most common problems we see are:
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
Managing a site like St Thomas' Catholic Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Kippington homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Knole House (about 1.2 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Kippington as well as newer homes.
